Hi all. To any and every team that has new paddlers with no or little experience. I can help speed up their technique, form and endurance with one on one coaching. Please reach out to me and we can discuss cost that's affordable.

We can help.  The Eh Team paddlers are in need of a steers person and we start paddling next week.  We practice out of Granville Island on Wednesday and Friday mornings, from 9:00 to 11:00 am.  We sure could do with your help, either on a temporary basis or full time for practice.  Send me an email; I'm sure we can work something out.     

Registration is open for March Madness 2020: https://www.falsecreekoutrigger.com/march-madness

This year's event will be held the weekend of March 21/22.

Snapdragons are recruiting paddlers for 2020!

ABOUT US
We are a women's rec team of all ages and backgrounds, with a strong competitive spirit and a healthy appreciation for a cold beer after practice. We love to practice hard and win races. We also love to have fun with pub nights, wine tasting, karaoke, and dancing.

ABOUT YOU
Looking for people with at least 1 year of dragon boat or outrigger experience, or grads of the Learn To Paddle program at Dragonzone. You should be active and willing to be coached, and able to commit to most practices and regattas for the full season. Most importantly, you want to have fun on the water with some amazing women and win some hardware!

OUR SEASON
Practices are Tuesday nights at Creekside Community Centre, starting March 24 and running until Sept 8.  Warmup starts 5:30, and we paddle from 6-7:15.   

Our regattas for the year include:
Women's - May 23
Harrison - July 25
Steveston - Aug 22
Penticton - Sept 11-13

Contact [email protected] if you're interested! You're welcome to try a couple practices with us before committing for the full season.

Hi everyone! Wow, its been a while since I last logged on to DBW. Anyway, I am a former paddler/coach of 15 years. I've paddled with numerous teams, including FCRCC Premier/Mix and coached the likes of Team Vortex, Mercedes-Benz, Gift of Life and Shaggin Dragons.

I am now a certified personal trainer. I run group dryland training and personal coaching/training. PM me if you are interested and we can discuss reasonable rates! Add that extra edge to your paddling technique and work out the typical dragonboat imbalances. Build endurance, strengthen core or just to be more fit in general. I also run coaching workshops. Hope to here from some of you.

Best Regards,
Gerry Vinluan
